[Kikó]

Found this German deli after I left which made the whole shit show worthwhile.

[randomlegend]

Lol German beer that says jew on it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Posts about watching his friend have sex and then he's munching on a large sausage.

[Kikó]

I was thinking of his penis

[Shindig]

Peter Kenyon. Save us.

[Spikey M]

So is Mahow by the looks of it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Eastern European cam whores or gtfo.

[phonics]

The Arsenal v Watford game was actually a really good game of football. Especially in the first half, both teams just going at each other and both sides attacking and defending well. Thought it was going to go wrong after Lacazette missed so many chances but pushed through.

[John]

That Kovacic pass for the Hazard goal is absolutely perfect.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Kovacic has been a revelation in these early matches (to me, anyway). Perhaps our best player apart from the large-buttocked Belgian.

[Gray Fox]

We've been so close to getting in 4 or 5 times now. Just a bad final pass.
Chelsea's goal was superb. Perfect play all around.

If someone could slap a large amount of sense into Mane I'd like that very much.
Ketia or Shaqiri on at half time too please. The midfield 3 is very samey.

[Mike]

Hopefully Klopp fires them up at half time and we start taking our chances.

[John]

Good work from whoever put together that little replay package, getting a prolonged, slow motion wanker sign into the background.

[igor_balis]

Haha I noticed that :lol:

Salah really hasn't been very good this season has he?

[John]

If Kepa can keep those of saves up it might let Floyd take his Oscar posters down, and not before time.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I sold my Oscar posters to a little Chinese fella for £1,500.

[Boydy]

Salah really hasn't been very good this season has he?

Yeah. Pretty sure he's just gonna be a one season wonder. :(

[Bam]

After a nice little earner from the Man U game I've chucked a couple of quid on Liverpool to turn this around. Also Firminho to score.

[Mike]

Yeah. Pretty sure he's just gonna be a one season wonder. :(

He looks like he needs a rest, which is a worry this early on in the season.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've only got Sky, so Rotherham v Stoke is on. Watching the likes of Ashley Williams, Bojan and Cuco Martina get shat on by a load of lumbering northern shitbags plus Richie Towell has been most entertaining. It's like they're being Stoked themselves.

[John]

I saw the buildup to that and Rotherham's seasonal stats were amazing. Bottom of the league for passing accuracy, chances created, touches in the box, and shots on goal, top of the league for long balls.

[igor_balis]

Felt like a bit of an old school shit top 4 vs top 4 game, this. Though that might just be cus of how hungover i am.

[John]

Fucking hell.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Holy crap.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Bollocks, thought we were onto a graph-enabler there.

[Guybrush]

Glue factory.

[Mike]

Outstanding! He tried that on Wednesday too.

[igor_balis]

Fair fucks, like.

[Lewis]

I love shots like that where you just swing a heavy boot at it. That Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink free-kick against City with no run-up from thirty yards is one of the great forgotten goals.

[Mike]

[Gray Fox]

Positives. Chelsea played extremely well and on a different day we win that 3-1.

Keita coming on was a welcome relief as we actually had a midfielder willing to move forward.

I loved Hasselbaink freekicks. I used to practice them all the time.

[igor_balis]

The mighty Baggies went top of the championship, tonight. Think I might try to work out how to VPN the fuck out of the iFollow thing so i can stream the games. Annoyed that we've been absolute toilet in the games i've seen.

[Max Power]

We will recall Harvey Barnes in Jan and you will CRASH AND BURN.

Solid performance at fortress St. James Park today. Their best chance was a shot from 60 yards from Shelvey. Nampalys Mendy coming back from the day to be our player of the season so far and Southgate in attendance to confirm he will call up Maddison next break. Good stuff.

[niko_cee]

I see the Madrid derby is going on. Who has the rights to La Liga now in the UK?

[phonics]

The same people who had the Golf that time.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I think I've finally reached the point where with my Sky package, the only non-British association football I can legally watch is MLS Mate.

In the glory days such a setup would get you La Liga Mate, Bundesliga Mate (in the heady days of Carsten Jancker and Martin Max), Serie A on Channel 4, all the European competitions, and also the Eurogoals roundup on Eurosport to fill in the blanks. Nowadays, just Bradley Wright-Phillips and Real Salt Lake absolutely peppered with gambling adverts.

I'm moving house in a couple weeks and I have the decision to make. Think I'll go Sky purely for cricket. BT doesn't have the range of European football I used to like so no point adding it. Looking forward to Carribbean Premier League T20 and MLS football to fill the lonely hours. Might get into NFL

[niko_cee]

You get the China League as well.

I stumbled across Oscar and co during the day the other day and was taken aback as to how many Brazilian journeymen are wasting their lives/making their fortunes out there.

[Reg]

I've got Sky Sports on Now TV, and no BT Sport, this season. Was impressed with Eleven Sports during a free trial, so planning to have that for certain months (when good La Liga and Serie A fixtures don't clash with Brighton games/other outings).

[Boom-Boom-18]

Can you record and watch later on Eleven Sports?

[-james-]

I was at the Etihad today. The "matchday experience" is one of the worst things I've ever had to endure. You'd struggle to find a less interesting football match as well.

[igor_balis]

We will recall Harvey Barnes in Jan and you will CRASH AND BURN.

Aye he's very good but he's operating as a number 10 in a pretty ridiculous 3-4-1-2 at the moment, and that position is occupied by the FUTURE OF ENGLISH FOOTBALL, if my cov city supporting mate is to be believed. He actually said "I don't mind Leicester", just because of Maddison. What do you make of him? & Lee ?

I think the cricket swings me as well, although being a crashingly dull bloke the golf is an added bonus for me. The Championship is ample football entertainment as well, far better league than the PL.

In the future when they have all gone onto their own in-house propaganda subscription models and the middle man is taken out, we'll truly yearn for such days.

I wish I could do a bespoke sports package that allowed me to watch every single West Brom game, England test cricket and a channel that just rotated weird Trans World Sport stuff.

[Max Power]

He is very good but he’s being playing off the left recently so he and local lad Harvey can coexist no problem.

[Lewis]

Would it be fair to say that if you only liked football you would be better off going for BT over Sky?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Depends what football you liked. I'd stick with Sky for all the domestic stuff they have.

[Lewis]

Whatever provides the most goals, skills & assists.

[Jimmy Floyd]

No doubt you're chained to Sky anyway because of the northernball. One of the other great benefits of it is that I haven't had to watch the 'Aviva Premiership' in years, to the point that I don't really know what the teams are in it.

[Lewis]

There is that for me, but for most people I would have thought having the Champions' League and cups seems like a better thing to have than SUPER SUNDAY and the dress down Friday wank fixture.

[Waffdon]

Shock horror Hazard is the third best player in the world with a manager who’s somewhat adventurous.

[Reg]

Can you record and watch later on Eleven Sports?
Info from their site:
CAN I PAUSE / REWIND LIVE CONTENT?
Yep, you certainly can

CAN I RECORD LIVE CONTENT?
You can’t record but matches that are shown live will be on demand – in full – for the 24 hours after the match.
Worth getting a trial (remember to cancel before the 7 days if you don't want to pay).

[Spoonsky]

That's one of the best Liverpool goals I've ever seen. For the past three years I've asked why Daniel Sturridge still plays for Liverpool and now I see it was all part of the plan.

[Yevrah]

Somewhere, someplace, there's a Taz drowned in cum.

[Jimmy Floyd]

This mess started when United sacked David Moyes after 8 months and we lost all sense of the values that the club had been built on for 100 years . It’s not the manager it’s the lack of football leadership above him. They are bouncing all over the place with no plan!

Gaz Nev still going big on the immediacy of modern life.

[Lewis]

David Moyes' original contract was until the end of 2019 so he could hold the fort until the summer.

[Magic]

That's one of the best Liverpool goals I've ever seen. For the past three years I've asked why Daniel Sturridge still plays for Liverpool and now I see it was all part of the plan.

To score a great goal against a reforming Chelsea side? Expensive.

[Giggles]

Jammy poxcunts.

[phonics]

Jose out. Wenger in.

[Kikó]

Weng in would be great. Pog and Weng dabbing

[SincereTheRebel]

Give Jose the season and get Pep in.

[Waffdon]

The Scottish Premiership looks really odd. Edinburgh dominant.

[randomlegend]

ITKiko when they announcing the Mourinho sacking?

[Magic]

Lol at Czsaba Laszlo.

Also who decided Cardiff v Burnley would be a super Sunday fixture...

[Waffdon]

Aye, tomorrow isn’t much better either. Horrific stuff.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They have to play the fixtures some time.

[Waffdon]

Put them up against a team like Wolves, Fulham or Bournemouth or something. Not these two backward teams.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Also this is Ryder Cup day so they are just burning a shit one while no one's watching.

[niko_cee]

Those Cardiff stats they put up at some point in that match (20th for everything) were pretty telling. Even more so for Huddersfield. I know it's early days but you'd have to think that both of those two are proper doomed.

[Kikó]

ITKiko when they announcing the Mourinho sacking?

Murder on Zidane's floor is interested as long as it's on his terms. Motwyw.

[niko_cee]

You'd imagine most managers (term used loosely) would be 'interested' regardless of terms.

[Kikó]

Shame the special once is in full on mard mode and is looking for a sacking. That £12m payout 😍

[Jimmy Floyd]

How did Huddersfield stay up last year, surprise factor? It's the same team pretty much.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Grit, determination and heart.

[phonics]

The 3rd worst team in the league got a pathetic 33 points is how.

[Magic]

Two fucking horrible clubs.

Burnley are pretty inoffensive.

[niko_cee]

Sexist lolling ahoy (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45699428)

[Jimmy Floyd]

The best bit is how the man on the tannoy joyously awards it to a random one of the other team's players.

[niko_cee]

In the interests of balance (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45701600)

Is it a corner if it doesn't touch his toe?

[John Arne]

Correct - no goal is it hadn't clipped his toe. Very Enckelman.

[John]

Frank de Boer is so fucking dreary.

[Reg]

Bournemouth look very good. Wonder if Howe would be tempted by Newcastle if the job became available.

[Jimmy Floyd]

He could cut out the middle man and just jump on a bonfire.

[Baz]

Zaha’s improvisation there is outstanding.

Deffo offside though. :happycry:

[Reg]

He could cut out the middle man and just jump on a bonfire.
Yeah the ownership would probably have to change. I just mean a rival Prem team around that level, I guess. If, for some odd reason, Hughton left I imagine Howe would be very welcome at Brighton.

[phonics]

Eddie Howe is the modern Alan Curbishley (that's a compliment not a dig).

[Jimmy Floyd]

Yeah the ownership would probably have to change. I just mean a rival Prem team around that level, I guess. If, for some odd reason, Hughton left I imagine Howe would be very welcome at Brighton.

Don't think he'd ever pull it off up north, the whole culture around sport is very different up there, none of his touchy feely stuff would pay off. Similarly if you parachuted Sean Dyche into Brighton or Bournemouth he would last about a week.

There have been some real disaster appointments in recent years because foreign owners (and money men generally) don't understand the local cultural stuff that surrounds clubs. Hodgson/Liverpool stands out as a match made in hell, but you've also got appointments like Pardew to West Brom, Sherwood at Villa, de Boer at Palace... some real stinkers. Mourinho at United is another one, in fact, the two are completely incompatible.

[Bernanke]

Ol' CM 01/02-legend Kennedy Bakircioglu dons a free-kick, runs off to celebrate, catches a beer and chugs it.

[phonics]

There's a free article to any writer where the headline reads, 'The only January signing Manchester United need is Dan Ashworth'.

I hear he's leaving the FA to go to Brighton which is utter madness. The guy turned West Brom from a yo-yo team at best to the most solid 10-15th team in the league while having every decent youth player they brought through poached by Chelsea. Drama always stayed out of the papers and decisions, once made weren't questioned.

Within 1 appointment of him leaving (Steve Clarke was his pick) they were hiring Pepe Mel.

[Shindig]

United don't want stability in 10th.

[Waffdon]

Since the 2014/2015 season, Jan Oblak has conceded 71 goals and kept 72 clean sheets. Offft.

[Jimmy Floyd]

*Diego Godín

[SincereTheRebel]

Since the 2014/2015 season, Jan Oblak has conceded 71 goals and kept 72 clean sheets. Offft.

Some stat. He only has 16 caps. Who is he ranked behind for Slovenia?

[Shindig]

Handanovic.

[SincereTheRebel]

Handanovic.

The skill gap between the pair must be huge because Oblak has the trophies from club level. Looking at Handanovic trophy cabinet, it is completely empty. :cab:

[Waffdon]

*Diego Godín

He’s still one of the best, regardless of how good the defence is.

[John Arne]

Just seen that Man Utd tickets are available on the gate tonight. Reminds me of the old Crewe Alex days....

[SincereTheRebel]

£58 for non-members most expensive seats. Revenue.

[Kikó]

Return of pay on the gate 😎 group stage matches often have a few knocking about to be honest.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I was going to go to watch us on Thursday against Videoton or whoever but we're claiming to be sold out. I really can't see that being the case so might scout around.

[Giggles]

Those football banter accounts should be shut down and their authors hanged.

Agreed. Especially as they all steal others tweets and pretend it's their own original thought

[bruhnaldo]

"FT" is a cesspool.
